Lets get VT rolling again

[TheWizard]

Enough time has passed to forget the recent VT troubles. Its time to look toward the future. We will need a few mods and creation of a VT membere rules.

The new member rules draft is being developed already.

Please post your ideas here.

Thanks,

[kolte]

I can never say that vt will drift from my daily routine. I will stay as usual. I don't know how active I will be, but as active as allways I'm sure. Vt has really helped me, I don't ignore that. It has suffered some losses, but its still vt. I'm glad that we are trying to get over this, and I hope it doesnt hurt VT too much. After all, its helped even those who have left. you know I'm here to help if you need anything Josh. Its time to organize this site, and make it more appealing to members.

O.K. Josh, you wanted help, here it is, and god forbid you ignore this.

what vt needs:

two mods for puberty forum
two mods for TWPR
one mod for relationship forum
one mod for the debate forum
one mod for cutting
one mod for depression
one mod for drug abuse
one mod for eating disorders
four global mods
a mod conference forum
a set of mod guiedlines
a set of member rules
an FAQ for how the site runs

[WelshLad]

I think respect is one of the priorities here. Give respect, get respect as Tony Blair says. I'm talking about each member respecting other members; members respecting mods; mods respecting members; admin respecting members etc.

I think a three strike system should be to freeze a member. Another three strikes once unfrozen means a ban except in extreme circumstances.

Rather than one mod for each forum, how about a group of 3-4 to mod all the psychiatric forums. Koler's right, there needs to be rules for mods as well to prevent abusage of power.

There could also be a member ambassador, who intorduces themself to a new member, tells them what VT's about, about the people who come here, rules etc. and they could be like their guidance councellor for their first week of something. Naturally, this would have to be someone who's been here a while and experienced e.g. a 2500+ post member (not a mod, as there should be an opportunity for members to take an active role as well).

[serial-thrilla]

josh, just pick someone who you think is responsable and can handle it.

I read it and it has some good ideas. I like the repect part.

We just started a new system to log warnings so we know the person has been warned at least three times. It should help a lot.

[Chrono]

Well I'm on a lot, though I don't post, I've been here a year next friday, so if you need me for any jobs I'm open.

And I agree with koler on all of his ideas

[[email protected]//]

well i have already talked to u josh about my mod duties....if u need one im available....the draft is a good idea and will be good for VT

[WelshLad]

hey, we've lost a few good mods we all know and we can't replace them. i'd like to put my name down to try and get VT as good as it was when they were running it.

[Kiros]

Yeah, rules will be coming soon. I'm just trying to think of a introduction and closure statement. :)

[ThePhantom]

Beginning: Once upon a time

Closure: The End

Kiros i am a genius, you just fail to see that in me.


Btw i think Koler shold be eating disorder forum mod seeing how i dont think there is anybody else here with more knowledge of eating disorders and the human body.
That is saying that isnt including me .. i know i dont want to do it and nobody else wants me to do it lolz but i do give the most advice

[[email protected]//]

i agree with atlantawonder that koler should be that mod....i think atlantawonder should be the mod of relationship forum or any other forum cause he does help a lot of people and he should be rewarded somehow lol

[Kiros]

Beginning: Once upon a time

Closure: The End

Kiros i am a genius, you just fail to see that in me.

Yeeeah... I guess that's my bad, then. :P
Though thanks for reminding me... I kind of already forgot to post my draft!

[WelshLad]

I second that Koler should be a mod

i think atlantawonder should be the mod of relationship forum or any other forum

I have to say Matt, you are a funny guy

[redcar]

he does help a lot of people and he should be rewarded somehow

being a mod is not an award in anyway.

[kolte]

I don't think being a mod is a good idea. Last time I was a mod I got so many hateful pm's that I just couldnt stand it, people hated me being a mod, I don't want people to hate me. I want them to think I'm a nice guy, modship just made me seem like a dick. I don't want that.

[WelshLad]

It would be a good idea to have mods from different time zones to corrospond with when members are online for SOS advice - ie when Californians are ready to go to school, Brits and the Irish are coming home from school and coming online. I know we've got a few people from Australia here as well.

[nachtspiegel]

That's a good idea Lloyd. That a way, somebody (most likely) will be on if needed. :)

[ThePhantom]

yesh but koler if you havent noticed : there really isnt a lot of activity in the eating disorders forum

[kolte]

hence, it doesnt need a mod...so nvm.

[ThePhantom]

Yah you are right but as we are saying every forum needs a mod and all.. just a though .. but no rushing anyone that doesnt want to be a mod

[ThePhantom]

no i really dont want to be a mod for the same reasons as koler put it. I am already hated enough, i dont need to be hated more . . dont make such statements like that.

[redcar]

i think this is a good idea

Rather than one mod for each forum, how about a group of 3-4 to mod all the psychiatric forums

and i think it was Lloyd as well who came up with the idea of different mods form different timezones, which is a good idea.

[Dfsg]

I hate being a mod myself. I got away with it with VT General Hospital, as it was originally my diary, entitled, "The Witch Doctor", but then got moved and became a forum, so although I wasn't a mod, I still could control it. Keeps your moderator status hidden :)

Although, Triple 7 cut my modding powers for obvious reasons... Josh, could you lock Shaolin's last topic in the General Hospital? It's time that one gets closed.

[Kiros]

I'd lock the topic for you, but I can't find a topic by Shaolin in the General Hospital.

Do you have a link for it?

[redcar]

i think someone removed it cause it was there earlier but its gone now.

[Kiros]

Ah, because all I found from Shaolin was a few topics in Drug Abuse :P

[WelshLad]

Look, forgive me that I'm not in a good mood tonight - you'll see
why by my post in the Relationships forum titles "WHY IS THIS
FUCKING HAPPENING."I came on VT at this time of night because
I thought there could be some members on who could help. If not,
a mod. Why aren't they on? Because they're in a different time zone
and probably in school. This is why I suggested having some mods
from my time zone, GMT.

If there are suggestions, can we please IMPLEMENT them instead
of ignoring them. VT is going down the drain. The members and
I are all trying to suggest how we can make it better and get
ignored. I would have loved a mod to be online now to help me
but obviously it aint happening. By the time anyone in a high place
reads this, it'll be 10/11pm there and I'll be in bed. Thanks a fucking lot.

[redcar]

i am agreeing here with lloyd. there is no mod in our region, there all hours behind us.

[Aηdy]

i 100% agree with lloyd... we need a mod who is near to GMT time... now who could do it??

i vote alex (redcar)

[Kiros]

Settle down Lloyd, we have a lot going on. Before we can begin to assign new moderators, we need the official set of rules out - should be any day now. Though if no one is on, then it won't do much good having a moderator for that time zone.

Now, if you noticed, I've already started a thread in TWPR to gather everyone's timezone. This information should help out the community as a whole :)

[WelshLad]

Thank you - sorry but i'm very pissed off this evening. Alex you'd be a great mod :)

[kevin]

I'm not suggesting myself, But I'm trying to become more active (I haven't because of school) again. So I guess I just throw myself out there. And austin also, he knows how things work here, he's been here for a while.

[TheWizard]

WElcome back Kevin :)

[Waiting]

i know u all like to forget me, but um i'm a mod and i'm in gmt timezone,
so yeah..there are mods....

[redcar]

sorry i didnt mean to forget about you patch or tim, i wasnt feeling the best last nite......sorry.

[WelshLad]

Well theyre never on anymore

[redcar]

ah they are, patch and tim are doing a good job.

[WelshLad]

no doubt theyre gr8 mods but i dont see them online when I am. I know people have lives though

[kolte]

heres what we need.

for general discussions: 5 mods. one in -8 -7 -6 -5 and GMT

for the Pysc ward: 5 mods. one in -8 -7 -6 -5 and GMT

the the G mods we have.

so lets recap.

we have about 3 mods for GD we need two more.

we have one mod for the psyc ward, we need 4 more .

and these mods need to match with GMT's

[Skhorpion]

im -6 GMT and wouldnt mind WPR but meh probably not experienced enough

[redcar]

i dont think that this idea of going on timezones is very good, cause it is of no relevance. if someone is good enough, they should get the job, and should not be determined on timezone.

[Skhorpion]

if we do it by timezones we can have at least one mod on at all times though

i like the idea

[redcar]

tell me this though, wat good is having a mod on in say debate, when one is needed in the wpr?

[WelshLad]

5 mods!? That's a bit OTT isn't it? -8 and -7 are only an hour apart so there should only be one mod for both of the zones and for -6 and -5.

[Skhorpion]

dunno, thats why we need more mods than we have now

[kolte]

tell me this though, wat good is having a mod on in say debate, when one is needed in the wpr?

what are you talking about alex. look, you don't assign them to a spisific forum you assign them permissions over all general discussions catagory. they would be able to mod from puberty to debate and they would be in that time zone for that period. look. talk to me on msn so I can clear this all up for ya hun. *pats back*

[redcar]

i get wat u mean now, sorry i wasnt reading correctly.

[kolte]

*pats head* its ok

[Waiting]

i'll do a good job. even if it doesnt appear to others i do anything

I second that. Though right now, we're just trying to get VT rolling strong and hard :P

[TheWizard]

Its coming soon. The VT version 2.0 for 2006

[redcar]

and wat changes can we look forward to?!

[Waiting]

i'll do a good job. even if it doesnt appear to others i do anything

I second that. Though right now, we're just trying to get VT rolling strong and hard :P

JOSH< FRANCAIS
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ALL ABOUT
WHO EDITED MY FUCKING POST
AND WHY
AND ALSO WHY DIDNT U LEAVE A MESSSAGE SAYING YOU EDITIED
i want answers
nice way to prevent fights admins

[redcar]

wat did u originally say?

[TheWizard]

I didn't edit any of the posts in this thread so what are you on about?

[Triple7]

Wait. What happened?

I don't edit posts without an explanation. What did you want to say, Patch? I can post/edit it in here, and no one (except admins) can change it.

[Waiting]

i originally offered my services
i told welshlad that i actulary am here alot and i do my job,a nd im good at it
i told josh that even tho he doesnt like me i will be there if he needs me

look you guys one of you did it, nobody else has my password, and could edit it unless it was a gmod
u can tell my that post its not my style
and i want whoever hacked/edited my post to be dealt with

[TheWizard]

What did it say?

[Triple7]

Sorry that someone edited your post.

I'm sorry to cause I like Mute.

[Kiros]

This is weird... I posted that O.o And I was quoting Patch! Something messed up in the database :?

i'll do a good job. even if it doesnt appear to others i do anything

I second that. Though right now, we're just trying to get VT rolling strong and hard :P

[Waiting]

sorry
look can whoever did it
just stop being a coward and step forward
cz this is really really pissing me off
i take a little break and come back to my posts being edited.
its really good way to encourage members to stay
so if it wasnt an admin. then who was it?

[Kiros]

It wasn't anyone. Something in the tables got screwed... And hard. I was quoting you, but for some reason it switched the members around :?

[Triple7]

It wasn't anyone. Something in the tables got screwed... And hard. I was quoting you, but for some reason it switched the members around :?

Could you have mistaken one button for the other or... "misclicked"?

[Waiting]

so you edited my post?
if it was an accident fair enough, dont blame the site, u might of pressed edit instead of quote
sorry for getting angry, but obviously u can see why i would, plus im very suspecious anyway and paranoid

[TheWizard]

so you edited my post?

There is no need for you to be suspecious or paranoid. If you don't believe me or 777 then there is nothing we can do about it. But don't expect me to reward you for your lack of respect.

[Pip]

This is getting stupid. :(

[TheWizard]

It sure is. But I'm fed up with this crap. I feel the only way to go forward is to ban all the people giving me crap so VT can move on with new trusted mods and mods that trust me.

[Pip]

*sigh* goodbye

[Kiros]

Pip? :(

And Patch, I thought about that too (accidently pressing Edit instead of Quote), but it doesn't make sense. It shouldn't have gave me a quote with your post in it then, which it did. And if it did somehow quote something, then it shouldn't have been from Lloyd...

Something just got seriously messed up when I posted, and obviously since this hasn't happened before, it's my fault. I'm sorry. All I meant to do was to back you up, Patch :|

[Waiting]

josh i think u mis understood me
i said
fair enough it was an accident to kiros, thats done with over
dont care not mad nothing

i was just saying
i have paranoia....and thats why i got so shift a min a go, i wasnt saying i dotn trust you...

[TheWizard]

ok

[kolte]

I think that we need to evalute all the people who are MOST acredited to be mods, and make them, send them an email explaining whats happening, five for GD five for PW, try to get a wide GMT variety, and do it, soon. it would help get the site back to normal.

[Kiros]

Considering the situation right now, we really don't need more mods - maybe for the future, but not currently.

[Φρανκομβριτ]

I've been talking ot my therapist, and he's told me not to hold grudges and to forgive, so I've decided to let this go, and come back. I won't be on as regularly, I'm not sure how much, I just hope this place hasn't changed TOO much. heureusement....

[Kiros]

Rudi!! :hug:

Welcome back ^_^

[kolte]

Considering the situation right now, we really don't need more mods - maybe for the future, but not currently.

dude...we have like 6...maybe 7 for a group of 3000 people.....thats waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too few.

So why cant we do what has been sujested hundreds of times before and get rid of the inactive users?

[[email protected]//]

it is possibe though for people to start using it...but its highly unlikely...so i would agree

[redcar]

i think this topic has already been brought up and we know where the admin stands on it so lets not bring it up again.

[TheWizard]

Its a dead issue so keep it that way.

[WelshLad]

And if it did somehow quote something, then it shouldn't have been from Lloyd...

eh?? hey rudi!!! welcome backy!!
